How do you spend your summer breaks? I spend my breaks traveling home to Wyoming to see my mom. The rest of the summer is used for traveling around the country and Europe. I have been to 49 of 50 states!

How would your middle school teachers describe you as a middle school student? In middle school, I was a shy student. I didn’t have many friends and kept to myself.
